Hope you have a fantastic day and evening and an incredible year ahead.

When it was my birthday in November I wrote in my journal how much I weighed and also wrote down what I wanted to weigh on my next birthday. Can't wait to see how close I come. It's something great to think about, just where we could be in one short year from now if we stick to the plan.

Tonight I will be going to a dinner party and seeing some old friends that I haven't seen in a while, so I'm happy.

Robin, great idea for a birthday goal for next year! I think I'll set one now. I would like to lose 75 lbs by my 30th birthday next year. I know I can do it if I keep coming here and being inspired by you great losers!

Nobody can force you to have a certain attitude. But life will go so much better if you will simply choose to be positive. When you wake up, choose to be happy. Choose to be grateful for the day. (Joel Osteen)
